Oh, my little baby
Always stay by my side
Do not part from me

Oh my darling
You give me hope, my darling
My I be safe

Sleep peacefully, sleep peacefully
Sleep peacefully, my sweet child...

Oh my little babe
Take my sure advice
My peaceful love

Oh my little babe
And a prayer from my heart
For the life in front of you

Sleep peacefully, sleep peacefully
Sleep peacefully, my sweet child...
